I used to sit behind David Essex at UP and spent almost the entire 90 mins staring dreamily at the absolutely gorgeous women he used to bring to matches...

I already see a Chas & Dave revisionist trend starting, i predict a critically successful post-modern Glastonbury appearance 2019

*Tick Tock, Tick Tock*

Traded out a very decent profit on my England bet...thinking of doing the same with Imperial Commander. I'd be up for a Cheltenham fantasy thing...i mat=y try and dig out the Cheltenham thread, getting excited!

Huge swathes of the State/Public Sector and many on the left are the most small 'c' Conservative forces in the country. Let's just leave things as they are...suits us. Demographics, technology, economics are changing things all the time, we need to adapt and change and shreaking Privatisation/Dismantling the state at any hint of reform is actually no longer washing among many in the population

Ironically, just after i posted I saw a pretty enthusiastic Facebook post on it from a mate of mine whose judgement I trust (but, to *Bob*'s point, he does fall into the middle-aged bloke going nuts category!). I am excited too! but will have to wait a bit.

Any good? I've been in Ireland and IoM all week so only read one review (the Times) which was very positive

The minor celebrity was one who had previously wished that Margaret Thatcher, the democratically elected PM at the time, had been killed and blown up by terrorist. Fine for woodrot et al but someone who wants to be an MP?? Really only a goodish result for the Lib Dems and, I suppose encouragingly, reflects some type of interest in local rather than national issues. I still reckon that we are in for a hung parliament again with a rise in smaller party (protest) voting..Labour has two issues it needs to convince on: 1) It won't be irresponsible on Public Spending and really will be 'one nation' - as the voting part of the electorate by and large understand this far more then in the past - and it is very very unconvincing on this among floaters, which, much to the chagrin of my Labour friends on here no doubt, is people like me. 2) Ed, who has done far better than I thought he would, but still when it comes to actually voting at a GE i still think a fair few voters will not choose him. Sad that personality/charisma is important but it is - Atlee wouldn't have got in nowadays for e.g.

You are getting all Karl Popper on our asses

Mick I just don't understand why you don't like stats? *looks at prediction league stats... top ???? -16 bottom Mick mac -127 ...oh, I see

A bit of Irish bias Mr Medic...you really think France gave it away? England not even playing that well were worthy winners. They are hard and shoulders above anything put in front of them so far.

Well yes, well done to the Primary schools, but given that the end product of compulsary education is the output from Secondary then the state system isn't performing very well, unlike it was say when we had horrible elitist but actually very good Grammar schools. And in those counties that kept the Grammar Schools, the so called 'dumping school', Secondary Moderns, still out perform comprehensives as a whole. That's what attempting social engineering on equality does, bugger up our state education, especially damaging for inner city working class kids, ironically leading to decreased social mobility. All those private school educated labour education secretaries of the 60s (Williams et al) doncha just love em. London Mix, I'll let you off as you're not english, but my post was plainly ironic!

So, at secondary level, Comprehensive education does work. The brightest are held back but the average rises a little bit. Socialism, doncha luv it...

Apple match - matches all your MP3s and upgrades them if they are already in the iTunes store, the ones that it doesn't have it just uploads too. This includes anything you've got, not just Itunes purchases. In the cloud, can use on 5 devices (i think) ?23ish a year and you can download them all again in the future. For me the clincher was getting better standard versions that the quick rips i'd done for all my CDs.

Only just got Broadband back since about 7am this morning
